Document Summary
The cerebral cortex is the place where high level perception of the world occurs, and is also the place where controlled motor activities originate. In this sense, it is the place where all our controlled interactions with the external world occur. The left side and a right side of a given area is very different from each other. This contrasts with a number of more basic brain regions which are more devoted to monitoring and controlling internal behaviors and automatic responses to external stimuli. Primary each of these parts of the brain associates directly to the world. Association cortex: actually interprets what we are seeing and makes the distinction between the our memory. Perceptions: what we see from the world and compares it to our memory and makes a form of how we see it. Lateralization: the brain is made of it is two parts.
